[Support request] Generate blocks, step 1

[King]

Just getting started building my site. I don’t see generate blocks in the plugins and can’t find tutorials starting with Step 0 to get started with containers etc. Can you get me started? Thanks

[David]

Hi there,

first thing is to install the plugin.
Go to Dashboard > Plugins and Add New, in the search field enter: generateblocks once found install and activate it.

Once that’s done you will have access to the 4 blocks ( Container, Grid, Headline and Buttons ) in the block editor.

A good place to start for tutorials is with Mike Olivers YouTube channel:

And our own Channel:

https://www.youtube.com/c/generateblocks

And last but not least you will find documentation. here:

David, generate blocks doesn’t come up. Ultimate blocks, Gutenberg Blocks, WP Munich Blocks. No Generate Blocks. Please advise, thanks.

Hi Cody,

To confirm, if you search for generateblocks, it doesn’t appear as such?: https://share.getcloudapp.com/5zuLbkj1

If so, can you try uploading it manually through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin? You can get a copy of the plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/generateblocks/

Kindly let us know how it goes. 🙂

Well, since it’s called generate premium that’s why it doesn’t show up. I already have it. Thanks again.

[Fernando]

I see. You’re welcome! Glad you have it sorted out Cody! Feel free to reach out anytime you’ll need assistance with anything else. 🙂

Hey again. Ok, I have used Elementor extensively in the past but I’m having quite a bit of an issue getting started in GP and GB. I have Mike Oliver’s vids open for Introduction to Generate Blocks and Introduction to Elements, but as with most vids, these don’t begin at the beginning. He’s explaining block manager but in my new page there is no block manager menu. What I have is your plain vanilla WP add a page layout. No GB anywhere. No elements, containers, etc. Can you direct me to your tutorials that get me started? I haven’t found anything that starts at square 1. Thanks.

[King]

Watching another Oliver vid, he says I’m just going to drop in a container, goes to the + symbol and has the GB elements available. I don’t have those. How to get? There is some very basic information not covered by anything I can find. Thanks

[King]

I have tried to input my key and activate elements etc and I keep getting the spinning wheel. Please advise, thanks.

Actually just getting my WP to load the key and let me activate modules would be a great first step. I’ve looked at the video titles but have never seen one that starts at the beginning and works it way through step by step. If you have one please advise. Thanks.

[Fernando]

I see. Thank you for clarifying. This article has a video showing how to install GP Premium up until how to activate it: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/installing-gp-premium/

If somehow it isn’t activating, kindly let us know.

[King]

Thanks… Have it installed. Activated modules. But cant access container from the + icon at the right side so I can’t use blocks yet. Please advise. Thanks.
